Ice crystals

While on our walk, I saw a very small hole in the snow, fringed by ice crystals. I think this was the entrance to the tunnel of some small animal, a vole perhaps, given the habitat. The crystals had formed from the breath of the animal. This is a very close-up shot.

I saw this hole yesterday and thought if only I had my macro lens so I could capture the detail in the crystals....! Your shot here is what I envisioned and much more! Wow, I love it! It's so clear and sharply detailed!
